OBJECT IS A RUSSIAN ROCKET EN ROUTE TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (See Comments below)A UFO shut down Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, China for an hour or so on July 7th; shortly afterwards, this video began popping up all over the Internet. I have no idea what the object is, but I find it oddly beautiful. My first thought was that, if it isn't an out-and-out fake, there might have been some sort of distortion in the camera's lens.AOL News (click here) ran an article in which "UFO skeptic and space flight expert" James Oberg speculates that it might have been a military test. The Christian Science Monitor argues that the object is a "superior mirage" (refracted light from the ground), but the video they embedded at the bottom of the article (from ABC news) shows a completely different (and much faker-looking, to my untrained eye) flying object.Undoubtedly the first step in explaining this is getting the story straight. Are there any debunkers (or true believers) out there who wish to comment?
